not getting emails to my playbook

Not sure why. I have 3 email sources going to my playbook. 1. Providers email, 2. a gmail account, 3 company email.
I have been getting them as of this afternoon however I have had some annoying message on the top of my playbook message folder stating something like "{providers] email unable to authenticate" or something like that but its been on there for so long while emails had been getting through so I thought was just another glitch. Ive rebooted both hard and soft etc still there/no emails.
Not sure if this is a common thing or?
I can confirm that the emails have come through on my desktop. I just tried clearing the cache on PB - not sure if this is of any use - and do another re boot.
I have been thinking of some time doing a complete wipe since way back when my calendar stopped working properly (dates/appts i put in will show up as alarms yet you cant see anything actually in the calendar - you can just add events, and they will come out at the reminder time just there is no visual trace of anything in the calendar.

Well, it sounds as if you have tried the restart methods. And it is an Email notification and not some other notice like a download? Hmm - could that email provider message be related to your missing or bollixed up Calendar?

I guess other than the tedious and time-consuming nature of a a backup and restore involved in a wipe, it might not hurt.

No, I am pretty sure the email and calendar issue probably not related as the calendar issue has been there since almost day one and I haven't noticed email problems since now. Though after this latest OS update I notice some emails but I also know there are some which haven't come through yet. I may just have to try re load full OS. I am just trying to figure out what I will lose in the process.....

I have problems with email once in a while, mainly yahoo and aol accounts. I get a "problem occurred" error message usually when I am deleting them. Then they won't load and it freezes and I have to reboot. You might try deleting the accounts and remaking them. Might really be an authentication problem.

Well I was getting "some" emails though I wasn't getting the LED notification in addition to definitely missing some emails so I decided to delete the particular email account as suggested above then re adding. Not sure if this was the trick but i am getting notifications and, from what I can tell,most emails though the emails I was originally missing are still missing.
The other PITA when I added back the email account I deleted was that I got 235 email notifications. Woukd be nice if the playbook had features where we could click one by one and then "mark as read "
Thanks all for the help.

usually if i'm having this issue, deleting & re-adding like you did, does the trick,,, same if your having wifi router issues, (tho this is rare, i think only happened once to me)...
